This is so great, thank you Gud! This would not have happened without you.

Hey. New board.

Gud, trying to set up for development on my computer. Following your deployment instructions, are the only changes I need to make for developing in the .rbenv-vars file and the puma config?

Feel free to respond by e-mail or I can take this to gitlab if it makes more sense...

That sounds right.

Well, they said changing nameservers could take 24-48 hours and it appears they weren't kidding. I still can't setup up buffistas.org yet.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This version of the site is so much better on mobile I love it

I’m reading the source code, and I’m having trouble making sense of it.

Ruby on rails definitely takes some getting used to, but it is really powerful, especially for an old-school website like this one that doesn't use javascript.

Too many layers of abstraction. I’m a close-to-the-metal kind of guy.

In both the Home Page and the Message Center, the threads should be sorted by last post date.

Super fast!

Would it be possible to put a Read New button down the bottom of the page, maybe next to the First/Previous/Next/Last/Recent buttons?
